When Beth Michaels high tailed it out of the hole-in-the-road town she grew up in, she only had two goals. One—get as far away as quickly as possible, and two—never set foot in her parent’s home again. But when she receives a heart breaking call from her childhood best friend, Jen, she has no choice but to turn her ’56 Ford pickup back in the direction of Salem, Missouri to attend a funeral.
There’s a new local in town when Beth arrives, and suddenly, it ain’t all that easy for her to remember her rules for dating. #1. Cookie-cutter-perfect guys ain’t her type. #2. Tie wearin’ and church frequentin’ is an automatic dismissal. #3. Most importantly, never date anyone from small minded, conservative, Bible-thumping towns like Salem. Unfortunately, Matthew Wright breaks all her rules and then some. Matt might be from a small town and have small town values, but that doesn’t mean he fits into a little slot of Beth’s preconceived notions. After all, ever so often good guys are good. Now if he could just convince Beth to let go of her past and give him a chance, he’s pretty sure there’s a whole lotta sweet under that prickly exterior. His own … Sweet Contradiction.
My Review:
I thought this book was uber sweet! I really enjoyed the story as a whole.
From start to finish, Sweet Contradiction was filled with detailed memories of Beth's upbringing in an extremely religious household to finding love in the most unimaginable person let alone place....the son of a pastor and in her hometown which she thought she would never return to.
But when her best friend in the whole wide world calls, Beth drops everything to be by her side and that simple notion seals her future.
Peggy is an amazing writer! This is the first book I've read by this talented author and I know that this will not be the last. Her attention to detail along with her ability to suck you into the book makes for an amazing read. Be sure to pick up your copy of Sweet Contradiction and hold tight for the amazing ride!

She dreams of one day owning a small homestead, raising some chickens along with her children, growing a large garden, and eventually taking a dream vacation to Greece. It isn't too far fetched to think you could happen upon her and her husband having a conversation about religion, political conspiracies, a zombie apocalypse, or gangster movies.
